Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Miss Schultz, don't do this…" The bodyguard was helpless.

"Do you really want to be taken to the police station?" Savannah looked about and found nobody around. Without hesitation, she caught her skirt and was about to lift it up.

"Okay, okay! I'll wait for you downstairs!" The bodyguard hurriedly averted his eyes and turned, walking quickly towards the car.

Savannah sighed, smoothed her dress, and walked into the enormous lobby. Taking the elevator, she arrived at the tenth floor where JK was.

Kevin was waiting at the elevator with Dan, whom Savannah had not seen for a long time. He seemed not to hold any ill feelings towards her, still greeting her just as kindly as he had in the past.

"It's been a long time, Savannah," He said, smiling.

After Savannah said hello to Dan, Kevin led her in.

This was Savannah's first visit to JK. Although JK was still very new, it took up five floors of the whole building.

There was an office area, a staff restaurant, a room for indoor sports, and a recreation area.

The decoration style of the company was not as formal as most companies, but minimal yet lively and bright.

Most of the employees were young IT professionals. Lots of them craned their necks, wanting to see who it was that their boss was walking with.

This young lady seemed to be about 20 years old. She was tall, slim, with brown shoulder-length hair and big eyes. Walking together, they made a handsome couple and a suitable match.

Most of the employees in the game company were single. They fixed their eyes on Savannah, whispering amongst themselves.

"Did you ever think the day would come? He's finally got someone on his arm!" One said.

"Yeah, looks like it," another agreed.

"Even if she is not his girlfriend, she would never be yours! Stop daydreaming!" Chimed a third, and the men in the cluster burst into laughter.

Savannah looked over when she heard their teasing.

Kevin, afraid that Savannah would be shy and embarrassed, gave Dan a look.

Dan coughed to clear his throat and said,

"Don't speculate," he said, cutting into the hushed conversations, "Miss Schultz is a model hired by our boss. She will endorse our new game."

"So, she is a model?" Some asked.

"No wonder she's so beautiful."

"But I haven't seen her much on TV or magazines before. Is she famous?" A woman questioned timidly.

"Yeah, this seems out of the ordinary. Usually, our endorsements come from actors or at least A-level models… Would hiring someone unknown be beneficial to us?"

Kevin frowned. Dan was about to reprimand both of them when Savannah took two steps forward.

"Hello, I am Savannah, and I might be the voice of Fairy World in the future. As you see, I am not a top model or a popular star. But I can promise to do my best in the game advertising and be a qualified endorser to recommend this game to all players. I'd appreciate your kind consideration in the coming shooting!"

There was silence for a few seconds. Then the clapping began, eventually getting louder and louder.

Savannah gave a sigh of relief when she saw these people looking at her with trust and approval.

Kevin's tight brow relaxed.

He thought it was more than Savannah could handle.

But, as it turned out, Savannah had grown up and was no longer the little girl who cried and needed his protection in the orphanage.

After the brief self-introduction, Savannah followed Kevin to the studio behind the office area.

JK had a special advertising department which was responsible for the photo shooting and promotion.

Two photographers, an image designer, and a makeup artist, had been waiting here for a long time. When Kevin came in with Savannah, they stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Wills."

"Take Miss Schultz to the dressing room for her makeup," Kevin directed, desiring to be efficient.

Savannah was immediately pushed into the dressing room by a female makeup artist.

Meanwhile, down on the first floor, Savannah's bodyguard, after thinking and brooding, finally took out his phone and called Mr. Sterling.

"Hello?" Dylan's voice.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to tell you that Miss Schultz is out today," reported the bodyguard as he swallowed.

"Did you follow her?" Dylan also knew the bodyguard was calling about the woman.

"Yes."

"That will do."

"But Miss Schultz…" The bodyguard hesitated.

"What's the matter with her?"

"Miss Schultz came to JK."

Savannah felt like she was a Barbie doll, allowing herself to be tossed about by others.

They combed her hair, tried on different wigs, changed her clothes. And gave her a complete makeover with their copious amounts of makeup.

It was more than forty minutes before she was pushed out.

Kevin was deep in conversation with Dan about the advertising process. When the door of the dressing room opened, he looked up and gazed fixedly at Savannah.

Savannah looked the same as Goddess Savannah in Fairy World. She wore a light purple elegant gown trimmed with lace, her silky brown hair loose about her shoulders, a magic wand in her hand. She looked graceful and, well, beautiful.

It was like Goddess Savannah coming out of the game.

"Wow!" Dan gasped, "It's like we've printed her straight from the game. I'm sure she'll drive the male players crazy!"

Savannah was a little embarrassed by Dan's words but smiled nonetheless. Kevin darted a look of approval at Dan, who was quite satisfied.

The photographers were ready.

Savannah made a good showing in front of the camera.

After posing in the spotlight for half an hour, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, hot and thirsty.

Kevin walked over to her with a bottle of water.

"Thanks, Kevin," she said, reaching for the bottle and taking a long drink.

"Tired? Have a rest first," Kevin leaned over and wiped the perspiration from her forehead.

"No, no, I'm fine, thank you," Savannah unconsciously moved back a pace or two and. She bit her lip. Kevin was kind - just as usual. Was she too sensitive? Did she make Kevin uncomfortable?

For some reason, she seemed to be under the spell of Dylan, keeping in mind his possessive warning and not daring to get too close to other men.

Luckily, Kevin didn't even seem to notice.

"Well, alright, let's go ahead. There are a few more shots."

She nodded, put the bottle aside, and was about to begin her next shot when the sound of familiar, commanding steps sounded outside the door.
